Since my parents were divorced, they dated other people when I was in high school. It felt natural to ask them about their relationships (and to tease my dad about how he always dated blondes). On the flip, I felt comfortable talking to them about my dating life, too.

I would lie with my mom at night and gossip about my dating life--she was like my incredibly wise best friend. We had a deal: She would let me chatter on, no matter how late it was, as long as I played with her hair!

My dad was the same way: He loved hearing about the guys we were dating and weighing in on whether they seemed cool or whether their baseball caps would make them go bald.

What about you guys? Spill it, my dears: Do you share your dating secrets with your parents, or do you figure, don't ask, don't tell? Do you think it makes a difference if your parents are divorced? I'm SO curious....
